Netflix's "The Haunting of..." (Season 2)

[TheSweetieMan]

5-episodes in.

On social media, I've seen lots of fans of Hill House expressing disappointment in the new series.

I don't think it's poorly made, or anything to such an extent that I would call it 'bad'; However, I think they made a mistake by kind of marketing this as a 'horror'-themed series following the success of Hill House--as well as the expectation that comes from adapting 'The Turn of the Screw'.

It works well as a drama. It's well-written and directed, and carries a heavy heart -- but the horror undertones are extremely minor, and not particularly scary or frightening this time around.

I'm still enjoying it overall, though. Enough to still want a third volume.
